I removed the debug option altogether and substituted all the if (debug)
printk with pr_debug.

I added MODULE_PARM_DESC in this case.

I changed all the printk into pr_debug apart from the few that actually
print error or warning messages.

Right. I have done the same in map_grant_pages for consistency.

It shouldn't be possible because at the time gntdev_release is called
all the vma should have been unmmapped by mn_release already.
However I would like to keep the WARN_ON anyway because it might turn
out to be useful in the future.

Unlocked_ioctl in file_operations returns long, hence gntdev_ioctl has
to return long. At this point it makes sense to return long from all the
ioctl related functions in gntdev.

No, I don't think so. ENOENT is more appropriate.
